Solid PC

Yes, I would recommend this product

The Optiplex 360 is very good value with it's 3 year warranty and solid performance (Windows XP...). I'm not a gamer, but I am a heavy user running 3 monitors with lots of apps and the 360's are great machines for my type of work.

Pros:smoking fast running xp !

Great and powerful Desktop Systems

PostedMay 20, 2009

Yes, I would recommend this product

This Optiplex 360 is one of Dell best desktops design I have ever seen. It is screw less, no need of a screw driver to unscrew bolts & nuts and every thing inside it is easy to access. I love the design and wonder if Dell is going to continue this Design for a while before changing the style and shape of the Optiplex 360. This is a sweet desktop PC.

Furthermore, the Optiplex 360 is a powerful desktop computer in its class and it runs quietly as a dormant lake. So far I cannot find any Cons yet to post against the Optiplex 360.

I am planning by the year 2012 to have every thing in my house and for my business to be Dell products. I wish Dell was in the business of building Cars, I would purchase a Dell car in a heart beat.

Very poor quality materials..

The plastic casing surrounding the DVD writer and HDD must be made with better quality material. Need proper insulation to eliminate the noise.

Pros:Comes with nice configuration and 3 years warranty.

Cons:Makes lot of noise. The fan noise is horrible and the DVD writer rattles the CPU.

Small business desktops

Yes, I would recommend this product

Been shopping with DELL for past 12 years, have 60 desktops, very rarely had a problem and 3 year warranty worked fine in those times. Buy with confidence!

Pros:Great value for the price. Installed XP pro, used for development work, works great. For past few years I have been buying Vostro and Optiplex that have had almost 100% uptime.

Cons:none so far

Pros:This is okay system for the price. It does works well but is kind of slow as far performance concern but overall it is not bad at all

Cons:Little bit slow, I am running XP on it but it came with vista but stili it suppose to be fast with XP but is not that fast as it should be. But it is okay for its price

Design is better than average. Novell Linux Desktop is supported (for Dell China).OptiPlex designs are made for business installs: long-term platform stability is valued. You get a little more bang for the buck w/ consumer Dimension line. However, specials make it worth it.

Disappointing

PostedDecember 13, 2008

No, I do not recommend this product.

Pros:The pros are it works. No bells and whistles; no surprises.

Cons:The cons are in the first year the hard drive failed; the motherboard had to be replaced; and the cd/dvd combo had to be replaced as well. I've owned Dells for many years and if I hadn't opted for 3 year, next day warranty service, I'd be furious with Dell. Past PCs were a pleasure, work horses that just kept on working without missing a beat. The Optiplex is not like it used to be.

Doesnt Support Linux

PostedDecember 10, 2008

No, I do not recommend this product.

Pros:Looks like the now discontinued Optiplex 330 Desktop

Cons:Onboard NIC doesnt work in linux... The 330 was a much better desktop machine. I supose if your using windows you'll be fine but its sad to see dell kill off one of its few linux \ opensource friendly desktops.
